Pure Beauty Magazine fits in with the other top exclusive softcore photography sites. Professionalism is the name of the game here and it kind of does have the feeling of a magazine. There's a good deal of info about the site's goals, style, and philosophy with the basic premise being a stylistic exploration of feminine beauty. Those of you looking for hot porn sluts posing spread eagle will want to go elsewhere. Porn Beauty's models are incredibly sexy and meant to tantalize viewers in all softcore shoots. The shoot location, clothes, and creativity make the content equally as artistic as it is erotic.
The photo galleries have all the characteristics that I expect from a softcore photography site. Photo quality is top notch with multiple resolutions for each picture. The top level resolutions are about 2500 at the smallest and up to 5000 pixels at the biggest. That puts this stuff in with the other top photo sites on the net. Members can browse the pics one at a time, with a slideshow, or download them as zip files (zips are offered for all resolutions). The sexiness of the models, creative style of the shoots, and great quality are the things that make this a fun collection. The galleries are organized by month dating back to 2004 with one new gallery each day. A "Best Of" section highlights some of the best and most enjoyed pics from every month. A simple keyword search is available as is a model directory under the "For more options click here" search link. These are the standard ways to organize such a collection probably because it's a tried and true technique that works.
The "Films" section is a much smaller part of the site than the picture galleries. At its heart this is a photography site but I'm glad to see they put forth some sort of video collection. The quality and style is similar to the pics, all beautiful models in softcore. Each movie is in high and low quality WMV and Xvid Avi's and most have QuickTime too. I understand why the video collection is smaller but what I don't get is why they're so short. No doubt that's my biggest complaint with the site.
Some little content sections like articles, interviews, and a photo bank round out the site. The overall size of Pure Beauty's collection is pretty substantial with a couple years worth of archives. Compared to similar photography sites it's in the middle of the pack as far as quantity goes. It has more than some of the new entries into the field but not as much as the more established sites that go back many years. $24.95/mo is a reasonable price for this high quality original material with its own personal style.
